I was 17 when I purchased my 2004 Lincoln Town Car signature, paid $2000 to a shuttle company that kept it in impeccable condition, even now with over 485,000 miles she still runs without a problem. Most reliable vehicle I've ever owned.

Drive it and make sure the trans feels ok. At a constant speed sometimes you can feel a vibration if the torque converter is going bad. But price for year and miles yes that's a good deal if all is working good.

The small block V8's produced by GM are also really reliable and cheap to maintain. My Caprice has been driven 350000km and works just fine and gets really good fuel economy still. The problem with European V8 motors is that they make them too fancy and full of new and unreliable technology.

I acquired this car about 4 years ago and stand as the second owner. The original owner, a friend of the family, an elderly lady from Wales who relocated to Camarillo California and established a successful business in Escrow. My first Lincoln Town Car I acquired was a 1987, all white exterior, all red interior and every time I think of that huge luxury sedan, I always wish I had put more money and more work into it to keep that one. People give you more respect in the road, as a courteous Town Car driver than I've seen be towards other vehicles in general. It's the car of grandma or grandpa or high status officials here in the old days in the United States and all abroad still to this day. It's not just a car. It's a symbol of success, status, and class. A well kept Lincoln Town Car is always a beautiful chariot to arrive in or depart in. Owning and driving a Lincoln Town Car is not for everyone. It's an exclusive privilege for those who do, and it's felt the moment you take ownership, and the loss is significant if you sign a pink slip.

Notes: the gas gage reports the top 18 gallons, but it's a 20 gallon tank. E/M is english/metric aka MPH/KMH. also, the 03 and newer model has rack and pinion steering and handles just a bit better. To be fair I prefer floating to getting my balls knocked about in every other car, and once you get used to it, you can drive a panther pretty aggressively. Traction control is fantastic as well, but you're screwed if the back finally does get loose on snow/ice. It takes a lot to break free, but once it does good luck recovering. I'm in my 30's and on my 4th panther body in the last 10 years. 2x 05 TC, 03 GM, 95 TC. The 95 TC was actually my favorite, bought with 196k in 2008 ( $1500), put 250k more on it. Next was an 05 Limited, bought with 130k ($6,000), parked it with 250k after 2 years due to several issues. Bought the 03 Gm with 205k, ($800 with a busted tie-rod and smashed fender) totaled it this winter with 250k on the clock. Picked up an 05 with the cloth top for $1500. clocks at 199k right now. Before those had an 88 grand marquis, 85 plymouth turismo, an 87 mustang and a 78 Granada. Guess i just like cars that you don't feel the cracks in the road when you drive them. For what it's worth, the 88 Marquis could take a speed bump at 50MPH and you wouldn't feel a thing.

These days, Town Car owners are much more diverse and I think that is awesome. is awesome. . Grandma and Grandpa loved them for good reason and younger people these days are finding out why . It helps that used Panther platform cars are plentiful and cheap. They are a great choice for people who need a reliable vehicle but don't have much money to spare. They are very safe and kids riding in one are very well protected. That bottomless pit also known as a trunk is nice too.

@@Goku_Kiyosaki who cares what they say man, just got a 01 yesterday and half my friends say "it's a grandma car"; and then when they actually see how it is on the road they fucking love it. The guy who sold me it thought there was a bunch of issues but after I got a few of my buddies and their mechanics we realized more than half the shit the one guy thought was wrong didn't have an issue. All I need to fix is just cosmetic, the previous owner didn't take care of the front sets so the leather is worn, stained, and ripped in the middle but the back is good. Doors are also a bit funky, need a new bumper and windshield but that's not top priority

I used to own an '01 Executive. Just recently bought a 2003 Signature Series with 69,500 miles on, I absolutely love the panther platform. I've also previously owned a 1995 Grand Marquis, and a 1988 Grand Marquis. My '01 got about 24-25mpg combined, 27 on the highway. The 03 has been getting 22.3 combined over the past 800 miles, it got 27 on the 100 mile trip home. The '03 also weighs 300lbs more than the '01 and has 3.27 as opposed to 3.08 gears.

Best car ever!!. I'm driving a 99 lincoln tc with just over 92,000 miles. Not even broken in yet....which is awesome. I was thinking of getting something more economical but my 18yo daughter wouldn't have it. It was passed down to us 11yrs ago by my inlaws and my girl is determined to keep it. Pretty soon all the majors will have been changed out& it will be like new again!!

Really comfortable ride and very dependable. I paid 2000 for mine with 162000 miles on it. I thought it was a fair price so I didn't even try to talk the guy down, but now you're kind of making me feel a little sore about my purchase... You got a good deal

I’m from the UK 🇬🇧 and remember travelling to the US several times in the 90’s when all the cars over there used to be like the Towncar. Now days you guys seem to be driving all the small European stuff and I never understand why. Our vehicles are expensive, small, have rubbish ride quality and are high revving noisy things. I’d buy a Towncar over any Bmw, Mercedes or Audi and would pay more for one too! So sad it’s not made anymore

I have had 2 other Town Cars, with my current one a 2002 that I have had for 12 years that looks just like yours. The only major issue that I have had with my 1994 and 2002 Town Cars is the rear air ride suspension bags and air pump that have gone bad on both cars. This happens on many of these cars, and hopefully this doesn't happen to you. I think you have a great car at a bargain price.

My father had one like this, same year and trim level. It was white however. The airbag suspension was changed to conventional coil spring suspension, as the airbags were quite expensive. It only had 160k on it, it looked mint body wise but the rocker panels were shot. Front fenders were rusty so chrome wheelwell trim was installed. When it came time to sell the Lincoln a few years back, there was no intrest at all in this car which needed work. Dad sold it for 300 bucks after 6 months of advertising it for sale. Oddly enough that Lincoln is still on the road to this day.

I had a Crown Vic in my 20's and now have a Town Car inherited from my grandmother. I just drove a round trip of 3400 miles in the Town Car. It is literally the only 4 door sedan capable of hauling the amount of crap I had with me. I think a Town Car probably has more cargo capacity than some small SUV's and has bigger balls to carry that cargo with. It was a very comfortable drive and I felt very safe too. The town car is big and heavy and I would feel bad for the Honda Fit that pulls out in front of me.

Nice find! Ford had some really thoughtful ideas in the 90s and 00s. The double sun visors, the keypad entry system etc. E/M allows you to switch between English and Metric units. In the older ones with a digital dash, the speedometer would change between mph and kph, too. Pretty neat stuff for a 2,000-year-old car, right? 😄 I tend to agree with you on the new 3. It’s still a nice car, but the previous gen was such a showstopper - especially when it first came out. I plan to buy myself a nice 3rd gen sometime this year.

So it's like when a guy tells you I put a new transmission in last year and you ask him do you have the receipt no I don't have the receipt you have no proof of the work with the limousine companies they give you the work order in the maintenance records so you have proof of maintenance on the engine what they have done what they haven't done you don't get that when you buy a car from Grandpa
